First time ever playing EDH I won with my pantlaza deck
I had never played magic in an actual pod. I showed up to commander night not knowing anyone there and was paired with 3 others.
Turn one was a bountiful promenade.
Turn two was a stomping ground, bloom tender.
Turn three cultivate, another land, grabbed mountain and a plains.
Turn 4 pantlaza comes out, with another land. he discovers roaming throne. One person says oh shit, must have seen that lizard and chair together before.
Now at this point, I have an etali from my opening hand, ephemerate, and starfall invocation. Other dino player sneaks a zacama out, still not sure how he made that happen.
Turn 5 Etali drops, he steals all kinds of shit. twice. Oddly enough the dino bro gave me a banner of kinship. All the big stompy things are lose in the park with +6/+6. Ian Malcolm is laid up in the jeep. Zacama instantly removed by a removal spell i had never seen before that etali picked up in his travels.
Next players turn, I cast ephemerate in response to his land drop. Etali screech. One guy gets pissed scoops and runs away, never saw him play again that night. when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
Etali has a blightsteel colossus....
We have a T-Rex
thank you Tyler for helping me, a new player, maintain the board state all while losing.
